Flight Lieutenant Ben Wallis has recalled how his Merlin helicopter suffered total mechanical failure, losing power to all three engines, during a nighttime training sortie in Denmark in 2018.
Everyone on board survived thanks to his quick reactions and the way he managed to land the stricken aircraft – which he attributed to his training.
He was awarded the Air Force Cross – the highest honour the Royal Air Force can give out in a non-combat situation.
